Forever faster
When you were 10 a summer lasted forever.
Now a year vanishes before you find your footing.
The clock hasn't changed. You have.
Each year becomes a smaller fraction of what you've lived.
At 5 a year is 20% of everything you've experience.
At 50 it's 2%.
This is why time accelerates. You've already used so much of it.
The things you keep pushing to next month.
Next year. When conditions improve.
Those conditions aren't coming.
You don't get the years back.
You don't even get a warning when they're almost gone.
Start now. With what you have.
The clock isn't waiting.
Time accelerates as you age. The years compress. What you keep postponing is the life you're losing.
